Marla, Welcome to the group...its a great group with fantastic members. Ron, Tony, SWB, Sparky, Brad, and many others are great contributors and provide...
Marla, As you said, Arizona is very diverse in terms of scenery. It's ironic I've been transplanted from NY for about 28 years, but can't say that I've seen...
I've traded in my Vino 125 for a Suzuki 650. I'm sure the Vino would have been perfect at sea level and few hills. But at altitude here in Colorado, and with...
Jeff, I think you made the right choice based on that data point. A hill that will slow the Vino 125 down to 24mph would be a major challenge for even a 250...
Hi, Funny title, huh? Anyway, I'm looking for some kind of protective pants to slip over my street clothes with my shoes on before I ride. I guess something...
Not sure how useful they would be on a scooter, but can never overdo it. There are places on the web that sell Kevlar jeans; you can also try Frogg Toggs. Ray...
I bought snowboard pants at REI (www.rei.com) that are just perfect - they are water resistent for those rainy days that we have in Seattle, and are just thick...
... Frogg Toggs. ... FroggToggs are probably the best raingear you can get, however they are paper-thin, and offer no protection other than for rain. Joe...
... Yeah, I myself just bought a pair of pants from REI that can zip off the legs and turn them into shorts. I live in California, so I will go crazy if I'm...
This is pretty much what I was imagining--I'm going to surf around and find a sale. I ride in Los Angeles. It can get really, really hot, but the mornings are...
I'm getting kind of tired of the clunky looking stock front signals. I don't really have a problem with the black flexible stems and, frankly, they're a pretty...
Richard, A couple of members have adapted motorcycle turn signals to the Vino 125. Ron Kerlin and Dennis Bratlandd (post 2970) used slightly different...
Well, now that summer is here, I see people on scooters riding in tee shirts and shorts.... Now yes this is California, but how safe is safe. I have heard ...
Lets just be realistic. If you slid across the road at 5 mhp for 2 seconds it would hurt so bad you would cry and you would probally bleed all over. Having...
Everyone has their own opinion and the right (in some states) to make their own choices. Here in Indiana, there is no helmet regulation for endorsed riders....
Hi Jan, I don't know about you, but one thing I do fairly regularly when on the road whether it's in my car or on my scooter is imagine what would happen if...
Tony, Dennis' Harley-style light is pretty much the best one can hope for. Retaining the 'stock stalk' is essential because of its unique relationship with the...
I wear a 3/4 helmet with visor, boots, jeans, gloves and a motorcycle jacket with armor. It is a summer jacket with mesh and is cool as long as you are...
Richard I don't know how similar the front blinker holes on the Vino 125 headlight cover are to the Vino 50, the Yamaha stalk blinkers seem the same. I...
I like to wear shorts as much as I can here in L.A., even in the winter when I can pull it off. I have seen many horrible scooter accidents in Indonesia, so...
protective gear is such a highly debated subject.. obviously it is obvious: the more gear you wear the safer you will be. carrying safety to the nth degree:...
i sure like the concept of a windshield...i have spent about $300 trying out 3 different models.. 1. slipstream spitfire. 2. yamaha vino screen and 3. a...
... I can't tell if this post is trolling, or serious. If serious, I hope you will consider giving some thought as to how your choice of accepting unnecessary...
90% of the time it's not going to be t-boned by a red light runner. And, not always does an accident result in 'puffing a wheelchair'. A father and daughter...
I just installed a slipstreamer windshield S-06 on my vino 125. It helped my top speed by 2 mph. I had to make a support for the bottom of the windshield...
